Today, 15th June, marks the anniversary of the passing of General Choi Hong Hi in 2002.

Today we pay our respects to the Founder of Taekwon-Do, whose vision, dedication, and lifelong work gave us the art that has impacted millions around the world.

We honour his legacy, celebrate his achievements, and remain committed to preserving and passing on the principles and values of Taekwon-Do for future generations.

“The ultimate purpose of Taekwon-Do is to enable one to develop a more noble character.”

Respectfully remembering General Choi Hong Hi.

Great seminars = a great weekend!

A huge thank you to Grand Master Van De Mortel for visiting Fortitude Academy and delivering his outstanding Sparring Skills & Drills Seminars.

Over 70 students took part across the weekend, with our juniors training for 2 hours, our teens and adults enjoying an intensive 3-hour seminar, and our coaches and competitors returning on Sunday morning for an additional 2-hour specialist session.

It was also great to welcome our friends from Wales, who made the journey especially to attend the training. Thank you for travelling so far—it was great to have you with us.

Every seminar gave students a greater understanding of what it takes to perform at their very best and compete at the highest level. The technical knowledge, practical drills, and insights shared were invaluable.

Thank you, Sir, for your inspiration, knowledge, and humour. Everyone had a fantastic time, and we’re already looking forward to welcoming you back.

Join us for an exclusive Sparring Skills & Drills Seminar with Grandmaster W***y Van De Mortel on Saturday, June 13th.

Whether you compete or train for personal growth, these methods will fast-track your development.

This seminar is not about fighting—it’s about learning.

There will be no full-contact sparring, only controlled drills designed to build:

🥋 Looking forward to the Inter Club Competition tomorrow! 🥋

Best of luck to all of our competitors — especially those stepping into the arena for the very first time 👏

This marks the beginning of an additional journey alongside the one they have already started. Through competition we see opportunities for growth, confidence, resilience and personal development 💪✨

We are incredibly proud of every single student taking part ❤️

A huge thank you to all of the officials who are giving up their time to help make the competition a success 🙏 Many are highly experienced referees and umpires who have dedicated years to supporting students and helping develop many of today’s champions 🏆

Thank you as well to all the parents and adult students for your continued support throughout the year 👏

Tomorrow we will welcome over 160 students who will compete fairly, give their very best and demonstrate great sportsmanship 🤝 There will no doubt be many memorable moments throughout the day 📸

Together we will uphold the Tenets that guide us whatever the outcome ⭐

It’s going to be an early start ⏰ but we can’t wait to see you all tomorrow! See you there! 🙌
